Additional Location Information

Trois George Sand is just 2 kilometres away from the quaint small town of Cransac with it's thermal spa and mineral spring. It borders on the Forest of Vaysse with its Acacia trees and pretty walks.

The ancient towns of Figeac, Rodez, and Villefranche de Rourgue are all less than a thirty minutes away. In less than a half hour's drive you will also find the Beaux Villages of Belcastel, Conques, Sainte-Eulalie d'Olt, Estaing and St Come d'Olt. The river Lot with its fishing opportunities is just 5 minutes away.

For the more adventurous there is also canoeing and kayaking on the rivers Lot and Aveyron, mountain biking, rafting, hang gliding and rock climbing. The local equestrian centre is just 1 km away. Within half an hours drive you can also visit adventure parks and go-carting.

Alternatively you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding area whilst sitting on the deck around our beautiful swimming pool.

The Aveyron region is a real must for all francophiles. It is a traditional, rural delight with endless rolling vistas and changing scenery from the dramatic foothills, to the endless plateau, to the spectacular Gorge and rivers. This is truly a snapshot of the real France, a France where time almost appears to standstill.

The region is steeped in history from the prehistoric tribes living in the caves of the limestone plateau to the 100 years war and the settlement of the Knights Templar in the region. The region also boasts more Les Plus Beaux Villages de France than any other, so culture is never very far away.

In Aveyron, a meal is not a meal without a traditional patisserie: Fouace cake flavoured with orange-flower water, almond croquants, échaudés à l'anis, Gateau a la broche (a cone-shaped cake cooked for several hours on a stick by the fire). Followed by a liqueur or eau-de-vie brandy (walnut, quince or plum) to conclude the meal.

“A glorious getaway”

Left on 02/11/2011 for a stay in June 2008 | WendyReviewed Feb 11, 2011Stayed Jun 2008

The property is set in a lovely rural location, gloriously tranquil and provided an opportunity to get away from it all and totally unwind. The facilities include a nice sized outdoor swimming pool, plenty of space in all of the rooms. I met relatives at the property and we all commented on both the property's location and how clean and comfortable the rooms were. There is a town within a relatively short drive and plenty of sightseeing round about.

THANK YOU for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you and your family enjoyed the property and the region.

The house, garden and pool were absolutely fabulous. A real home from home. The facilities within the house- ensuites, UK TV, American Fridge Freezer, Log Burning Stoves, Dvd's, Stereo and Cd's and lots of space to relax in. The garden and the pool were my favourites, on a sunlounger by the pool, wonderful!!!
